Counterfeiters are always a problem. If the images are of high quality enough (which we all want them to be), I'm sure we'd run into problems. The only real way to solve it is by crippling the image in some way, either by introducing some watermark or just insert a logo at a crucial spot - however this makes it less enjoyable for the rest of us.. Same goes with the idea of having the pics in such a quality that it would look like crap if printed (low quality jpeg's, for instance). Nobody really wants that either. Though, the biggest problem with logos et al is that given enough Photoshop skills you can always get rid of them, or even make a low quality jpeg look exactly like the real thing.
There are many ways to watermark images such that they cannot be tampered with. If this becomes a reality, bring the concept up again and I'm sure we can think of something.
